Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning
Narrator: Today's word is "Nomad" — noun, pronounced /ˈnəʊmæd/, with the stress on "no".
Narrator: A nomad is a person who moves from place to place, with no fixed home, following herds or seasons.
Narrator: In plain English, a nomad is a wanderer — like the nomads of the desert who move with their animals.
Narrator: It comes from the Greek nomas, meaning a wandering shepherd, from nemein, to pasture.
Narrator: "A desert nomad" describes a person who wanders the desert with no fixed home.
Narrator: It differs from traveller because nomads have a lifestyle, whereas travellers move temporarily.

Narrator: Anthropology, geography, history, lifestyle and everyday speech all rely on the word nomad.
Narrator: So remember: a nomad is a wanderer, from the Greek for a wandering shepherd.
